Camden Lock

Camden Lock is a former canal wharf located in Camden Town, London, located along the River Thames in southern England. The Hampstead Road Locks were built from 1818 to 1820, and the Camden Goods Depot served as the London freight terminus of the London and Birmingham Railway. Commercial traffic and industry on the canal disappeared during the 1960s, and, during the 1970s, the area was converted into a retail hub. By the late 1980s, Camden Lock had become a major tourist attraction due to its proximity to Camden Market.
